Thank you, Mrbeatleg!
I laughed so hard when Paul McC told Rick Ruben that Liverpool is the capitol of Ireland!
(I went to a riot and a soccer game broke out!)
Much appreciated.

I’ve been listening to this.....fascinating documentary. Some stuff I didn’t know about, such as Ringo faking an address in Ireland in order to get a driving license having never sat a driving test. Apparently they were easier to get there than the UK.

This was a great show. For a relatively slim premise (Irish connections to the Beatles) they weave a fantastic story. I particularly enjoyed the tale of the Lennon's visit to their island, and the possibility that maybe they were saving it for when they retired. I also loved how many first hand accounts they'd collected and that they credited where everything came from. Clearly a labour of love.

An object lesson in how to do this stuff and Highly Recommended
